Sponsorship connects your business with the local community in a meaningful way. Your logo and brand will be featured across event materials and communications, including our social media accounts with 5000+ followers and 26.4k monthly views. Increasing your visibility with an established non profit.
Align your business with a mission supporting mental health, domestic violence prevention, homelessness services, and other critical local needs. Sponsorship demonstrates your Corporate Social Responsibility, strengthens your reputation, and shows real investment in your community.
Businesses that engage in community impact often see higher employee pride, engagement, and retention, making this an internal and external benefit.
Our work connects us with local agencies, community leaders, and decision makers. Sponsorship provides opportunities to build relationships, attend events, and engage with key community stakeholders beyond traditional marketing channels.
Our Day of Caring event brings the community together while demonstrating the power of volunteering. Local businesses partner with United Way Peterborough & District to assist in completing projects at United Way funded agencies.
Projects can include construction, restoration, community special events or agency work. By providing a team of volunteers, companies help member agencies complete important tasks. This unique event allows businesses to get directly involved in their own community while promoting team building, boosting morale, and increasing your company’s community profile.
United Way Peterborough & District’s Annual General Meeting brings together donors, volunteers, and community partners to reflect on our collective impact and look toward the coming year.
The event features key organizational updates, including impact reports from partner agencies, leadership developments, and recognition of outstanding contributors. Attendees will also hear directly from Neighbourhood Grant recipients, showcasing the meaningful work made possible through this community investment.
Backpacks for Success is an annual initiative that ensures students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 have the essential school supplies they require to start the year prepared and confident.
Locally, it’s estimated that approximately 2,875 children under the age of 17 are living in poverty. Your sponsorship directly supports the purchasing of needed supplies, determined by our partners within local school boards and agencies.
Campaign Launch is United Way Peterborough’s official kick off event to the campaign season. Every September, we get together with partner agencies, volunteers, workplaces, and engaged donors to showcase our plans for the year and invite our community to join us in making a difference.
This celebratory event offers an excellent sponsorship opportunity to join the excitement of another engaging campaign season and help us spread the word that we’re here to make a meaningful impact, together.
The Ultimate Burger Battle is a month-long celebration of local flavours and community spirit. Local restaurants create signature ultimate burgers, and they donate a portion of each sale to us, supporting our initiatives across Peterborough and District.
Your sponsorship helps bring the event to life by supporting promotion, driving engagement, and getting the community out enjoying (and voting for) their favourite burgers.
Join us in making our first-ever Winter Wishes initiative a success! The holiday season can be a difficult time for seniors, newcomers, and families in our community. Financial struggles and loneliness are common for many of our friends and neighbours, but we can help make the season a little brighter with your help.
This year, we’re surveying our partner agencies to see what is on their clients’ winter wish lists. Whether it’s a senior’s favourite chocolate, a toy for a child, or a sweater for someone new to Canada, we want to help. When you join us as a sponsor, you can make someone’s dreams a reality and show them we’re a community who cares.
Peterborough Performs is one of our largest fundraisers, raising awareness and support for homelessness initiatives in our community. In 2026, over 300 attendees gathered at the Showplace Performance Centre to enjoy 14 local artists and raise more than $36,000 for local programs.
Your sponsorship helps make this event possible while creating a meaningful and lasting impact for individuals across Peterborough and the County.
Period products are a basic necessity, yet for 1 in 4 Canadians struggling financially, they are not always accessible.
Period poverty can force difficult choices between essentials like food and these vital hygiene products. Your sponsorship helps remove this barrier, ensuring more people in our region have access to the products they need.
This means fewer missed days of work or school, less isolation, and more opportunities for people in our community to fully participate in daily life.
No matter the results, every campaign deserves to be celebrated! It is only through the combined efforts of our volunteers, workplaces, donors, and team members that we’re able to lift up our Peterborough community. This event recognizes their hard work and shows our appreciation for our key supporters.
As a Campaign Celebration sponsor, you play a key role in bringing this recognition to life, helping every attendee feel valued and connected to the impact they’ve made.
Our 50/50 Raffle raises community funds to support our partner agencies and ongoing initiatives in Peterborough. Win or lose impact is guaranteed.
As a seed sponsor, you help kickstart momentum, attract ticket sales, and maximize funds raised, all while showcasing your commitment to our city.
